Automatic demo videos for every feature you ship

Every time a new feature ships, someone has to make a demo.

Recording it. Retaking it. Editing it. Adding captions. Exporting it.

That usually takes hours, so teams either rush it or skip it.

The idea here is simple:

When you ship a new feature, a demo video should exist automatically.

BuildShot records your live app, follows the feature flow, and generates a clean, shareable demo video with narration and light editing applied.

It’s focused specifically on new features, not generic marketing videos.

You can also script your demo just by describing what should happen inside the AI IDE that ships with it. For more control, there’s a CLI where you can define flows, steps, and behavior directly from your project.

So the workflow becomes:

Ship feature → define or generate flow → demo video is produced.

No manual screen recording. No editing timeline. No stitching clips.

This is meant for: – Release demos – PR walkthroughs – Internal updates – Changelog videos – Customer feature announcements

I’m especially curious:

• How do you currently create feature demos? • Would automated demos fit into your release workflow? • What would break this for your setup?
